Back to School Fairy

Every year on the first day of school, the BACK TO SCHOOL FAIRY brings the bugs new school supplies. The 2015-2016 school year was no exception. It's like - school-Christmas waking up to see what she will bring! 

Alice in Wonderland!

This Summer's Camp Crabtree production is Alice in Wonderland. We also added a small art show. The kids worked on a few "Alice" inspired art projects to display.

Kids Maker Fair

Daddy and Uncle S took the big kids to the maker Fair at UCR this weekend. So many amazing things to see and do. They came home and actually built the giant bubble makers so we would have a set at home for ourselves!

The Leprechaun paid us a visit

Lucky the Leprechaun stopped by....since we didn't try to trap him this year he left shirts, hats for the buddies and a box of Lucky Charms! The Pot of gold is a craft we did With Aunt AW. Pipe cleaners, a flower pot and rocks painted gold. Quite easy and quite fun as well!

Thousand Steps Beach

We've set a goal with the S Family to visit a new place every month. This month it was the "thousand steps beach" - I didn't count them while walking either down nor back up - but there were a lot. The day spent together was worth the walk.

Science Fair

In partnership with the school I work at the girls participated in the science fair. Both of them placed!

It's been a great year

Thank you 2014 for all your Blessings - in our Homeschool, work an Family life. We look forward to continuing to grow together as a family.

Partnering with Local School

How I homeschool is about to change!

The school I work for has agreed to launch an experimental program to test to possibility of partnering with other homeschoolers in our community to offer classes. I am so excited for this program.

For now my #1 and #2 will be taking SCIENCE  as a core class from the school I work in.
